Hello Friends, checking in to see how you are doing. I hope the coming of longer days and sunlight is helping you to feel refreshed and hopeful about our future. This early morning, as I look out the window in front of my desk, I see birds fluttering amongst the tree branches and a man taking...
Hi, I just want to reach out to you today.
I know how heavy the recent days have been for all of us.
I’m sure that thoughts like, what can we do, how can we help, and how to make sense out of it… made us feel so helpless and despondent.
I too have been feeling so sad for...
Are you looking forward to a great year, filled with joy, actions, and great relationships? Like you, I'm certainly ready for a good year. As I look back at 2021, I had a feeling that what I did so passionately didn't seem to make much difference in helping people get to a greater place in life....
Happy New Year and let’s begin the adventure!
I wanted to welcome the New Year, 2022 with a positive and joyful mindset. The question I asked myself was, “What do I feel grateful for?” Ask yourself the same question and I can guarantee that you will not be able to write them...
I have a question for you. How do you feel, when you change something plain and useless into a beautiful little art treasure that you can enjoy for yourself or gift it to someone special in your life?
This is something that I'm passionate about. I spot something around my house and try...
I know this saying so well ... the wind's direction can change at any time without notice ... but why now?

Many of our salon's clients have expressed how much they enjoy the hand-made Halloween decorations that are displayed in our salon. I love decorating the salon to fit the seasons and holidays throughout the year. It's a lot of work decorating our 2,400 sq. ft. of space but the...
I'm sure that you will agree with me when I say "What a Summer"! I know your summer has been just as busy as mine. I'm sure you are wondering if this is the new normal as we try to gain a foothold on what is yet to come. I've been talking to other business owners and we all seem to be in the...
What, it's already August?
Sorry for the late notice, but I'm inviting you to a just-in-time workshop before the end of our summer season.
I remember those hot summer days when I was growing up on the southern island of Kyushu, Japan. My neighborhood friends and I waited patiently for the...
This is true in any relationship, don't you think? In the beginning, everything seems so ideal. My relationship with MoMo has been no different than when I hire a new employee. Everyone in the salon exclaims, "Oh, she is the ideal person who will fit into our team!" I always answer, "We won't...
Do you remember how bad I felt for MoMo that she ended up in a training class being the only grown dog in the class? I've been thinking about why I felt that way. After all, she is a dog and I'm sure that she didn't feel as bad as I thought she did. After thinking about it, I realized that I was...
